London Hacienda

Royce: Friends and family have been asking about where we live so I thought I would post a few pics of the homestead. We are on the 3rd floor and have a little balcony overlooking a primary school and a nice lawn area. It has a good sized kitchen for the UK, a living room, one bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms. The plumbing and appliances are absolute garbage, but that seems to be the norm here. The neighborhood is really not too bad, but it is not real lively. The Bedford Pub is one block away and the train station is about 4 blocks away. I can't say that it is a good deal at $3850/month but fortunately the company is picking up the tab.

I put in the pictures of the train station because, besides my office, our apartment, and the grocery store, our lives revolve around the train station. Anytime we want to do anything or go anywhere we have to go to the train station.
